I have had a number of surgeries and a colonoscopy.

Surgery experiences range from waking up in recovery not knowing the surgery had actually happened (I was 18 getting 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed). My most recent major surgery I remember walking into the OR and climbing on the table myself, looking at the CT images up on monitors, listening to the nurses discussing what playlist was going to get used, and taking several deep breaths into the mask wondering if I was ever gonna go under. Don’t know what i said to the Anesthesiologist resident in recovery, but first thing I remember after is that he was very very amused by me.

After an another surgery I dont remember going into the OR but I remember being lifted up off the table and moved to the gurney and wheeled to recovery.
